—Floor descriptions, Waterfall Wood

Waterfall Wood is the first stratum of Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City. It is a series of tropical woodlands divided by large waterfalls that drain into a large chasm. A variety of creatures such as frogs, lynxes, and insects inhabit this maze. In many places, muddy terrain can impede explorers progress, requiring care if any FOEs are nearby.
